Greetings!
May 16th from 5-7 p.m. is our sixth annual Elementary Science Fair/Math Carnival/ Book Fair/ PFA Auction!
The PFA will be selling food during the science fair out of the snack shack.
The meal will include a hot dog, chips, and a soda or water for three dollars. Schwann's Ice cream bars will be sold for $.50 each.
The PFA would appreciate any donations for the silent auction. This is a great way to help raise money for the new school reader board! This is a fabulous way to get inexpensive advertising for your business. We will put a thank you with your contact information on our facebook and website to all who contribute to the PFA Silent Auction. We are happy to take monetary contributions in addition to physical donations. You may drop items off at the front office with your business card on the item and specifically note if it is for the silent auction. You may also contact Niki Anderson at themandersons@juno.com or Kim Boguslawskiheykimmer@hotmail.com with additional questions.

READER BOARD SIGN FOR THE NEW SCHOOL
We are only $1000 short of being able to purchase the sign for the new school and we need your help. VCS will have a donation table at the May 16th Science Fair to help raise the remaining $1000. If you are able to donate even $5 or $20, every dollar counts!
The electronic sign is similar to Sage Valley's and Caldwell High School's. A poster depicting the sign will be available at the Science Fair.
Thank you to CMcompany, Erstad, Washington Trust, the PFA, and other anonymous donors for assisting us in raising funds for the Reader Board. Please be a part of RAISING THE SIGN!

ALL NIGHT GRAD PARTY:
The first Vision Charter High School graduating class is on its final stretch to Pomp and Circumstance! The class of 2013 is planning an after graduation party to have one last opportunity to enjoy spending time together as a class. They are in need of donations to make this night amazing! Please consider donating items that could be useful in a dorm or apartment living situation: microwave, mini fridge, Scentsy burners, coffee pot, hot pot, lamps, DVD player, iPods, X-long twin sheets, and other living essentials. Also, a monetary gift would be welcomed by the planning committee to help make this party memorable for the students. Anything and everything helps! We are able to provide a receipt for tax purposes as well. Contact Mrs. Lair (erinlair@visioncsd.org) or Shelly Riley (sr2769@msn.com) with questions. All businesses and individuals who donate will also receive a thank you in the website and facebook with their contact information. This is a great way to advertise your business!
